West Bengal BJP Government Reviews First 100 Days, Highlights Welfare Schemes and Investments

West Bengal BJP Government Reviews First 100 Days, Highlights Welfare Schemes and InvestmentsPreviousNext

West Bengal's BJP government, led by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, marked its first 100 days by implementing promised welfare schemes, including the Annapurna Yojana, which provides monthly financial aid to women. The administration plans Janakalyan Shibirs to enroll additional beneficiaries. While the government highlights investments attracted and scheme rollouts, critiques note a reduction in beneficiaries compared to the previous regime due to stricter eligibility criteria. The BJP is actively promoting its achievements through a detailed report card across the state.
